After what seemed like good ideas for diagnosing the failure of two SL5.1 systems to export filesystems, I was still unable to correct the problem, even by restarting nfs and related services. Suggestions stopped coming in, and local users got impatient for the problem to be corrected, even if it meant interrupting their work. So I rebooted the machines, and that seemed to fix the problem. But the refusal to export may well recur -- it has happened before. Ideas are still welcome on how to diagnose or correct the problem in the future without rebooting.
I had similar problems which seemed to be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441983 However I set some lockd ports in /etc/sysconfig/nfs so your problem may be different. -- Dr. Andrew C.
